Poverty Alleviation Thru Impact Sourcing
Poverty is a problem the Philippines has been battling for decades. There have been a lot of efforts from
the government and private sectors to alleviate this issue including housing projects and feeding
programs, however, the decline in poverty has been slow. These charitable works help the poor greatly,
but we can improve our approach to hasten the process of eradicating poverty in this country.
“Give a man a fish and you feed him a day, teach a man how to fish and you feed him a lifetime.”
One of the biggest struggles with the poor is finding decent jobs to get their families out of their
miserable situation. The lack of formal education and training due to poverty is one of the reasons this is
happening. There is a gap in skills needed for them to be employed in better paying jobs. Furthermore,
they are competing with an abundance of workers who are degree qualified.
Impact sourcing is an initiative to bring jobs to these people to make a positive change in their
communities. Impactsourcing.ph is a social enterprise that aims to give people from disadvantaged
backgrounds a fighting chance in the workplace. We will be providing technical training and values
formation to bridge the gap in skills to make them employable. Furthermore, Impactsourcing.ph will
endorse them to partner businesses and providers once they have undergone our training program.
The first step in bringing this to fore is to build a comprehensive database that organized data of
communities to categories such as scholars, degree or non-degree holders, skilled and non-skilled
workers, experienced or non-experienced. This will identify the degree of need of each community for
further training assistance leading to a higher probability of employment. This candidate selection,
screening and client matching will take approximately thirty (30) days from initial engagement with the
community and its leaders. Screening methods based on technical skills, communication skills, and
interest levels will be implemented in order to assess the compatibility with the potential client’s needs.
Impactsourcing.ph also offers follow-up trainings of partner-candidates post-employment. These trainings
proactively assist them to continue being a values-centered and productive employees inside their
companies.
3. OUR UNIQUE VALUE PROPOSITION
1. Commitment to producing Valued Added Workers through Impact Sourcing Values and
Induction Trainings (ISVIT)
This is a mandatory training for all candidates that are part of the database pool. Candidates undergo
enculturation training into the BPO workplace, and gain a better understanding of their roles and
responsibilities as ImpactSourcing candidates.
ImpactSourcing.ph is the result of three-way dialogues between Clients, Communities, Foundations and
ourselves. It makes use of the Bottom-Up Principle of strategically assessing the skills and interests of
partner-candidates, training them with personal values such as work ethics and ‘malasakit’, then finding
clients who have matching needs.
2. Untapped Workforce
Majority of jobs these days require a college degree, no matter what field. Due to the lack of jobs in the
Philippine economy, many college graduates settle for jobs that are not in connection with their initial field
of study. This rings true for candidates in the BPO setting and attributes also to the high attrition rate
being experienced by these companies. Through ImpactSourced candidates, we are able to introduce
more workers into a quickly shrinking pool of qualified and willing candidates for the BPOs.
3. Outsourced HR Vetting and Referral Process
Impactsourcing.ph is a collaboration of professionals from different fields which includes Recruitment and
International Deployment, Manpower Agency, BPO company ownership, Below the Line Marketing,
Business Analytics, and most importantly, a Disadvantaged Community Member who is now in the best
position to help others in the same situation. In order to come up with the best possible filtering and
referral process, we have created the ATE Model. ATE (Assess-Train-Endorse) Model. “ATE” is also a
Filipino term for older sister. In this way, we are encouraging a sense of family and belongingness, a
support system to help candidates navigate their journey into the formal workforce.
4. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Rebranding
Each client that partners with ImpactSourcing.ph has a unique brand of workers which we like to call
“Tatak ImpactSourcing”
ImpactSourcing.ph goes one up on corporate social responsibility. Instead of the usual CSR activities of
donating or purchasing items, we allow companies to have the unique experience of being able to
incorporate CSR into their company culture. Candidate-partners become functional and necessary parts
of the organization.
